What are the harmful chemical reactions in the environment?

How do everyday chemical reactions impact our environment?

  • Do you know the helpful and harmful ways? Thanks :)

  • Answer:

    Some one in apartment ( A ) washed their floors with bleach and poured the mop water down the drain................ Now, some one in apartment ( B ) washed their floors W/ ammonia & poured thier mop water down the same drain system in the building......... Now, down in the sewer under the streets the two simple cleaning chemicals mix and create a deadly gas called " chlorine gas ".....it is also known as " Mustard Gas" and is toxic and deadly when breathed. This simple mixture of everyday household cleaning products was used during World War One ( WW1) and was considered an effective chemical warfare weapon used to kill anything quickly and silently. People here in the united states have accidentally mixed these two products to clean their homes and have been overcome by the fumes and some even died as they mopped their floors. This is a man-made chemical reaction that is deadly to the environment and all living things in it.
